My prediction is Spurs won't make top 5 and Ange will get sacked end of year

They're already out of the League Cup right?? If they get knocked out of the FA Cup early and are travelling outside the top 10 by Xmas/New Year, he probably won't make the end of the season...

Spurs would be coming 3rd, just a few points behind Liverpool and Man City if they hadn't have lost against Brighton after leading 2 - 0 at HT, and again losing to Crystal Palace on the weekend, who hadn't won a game.
2 inexplicable losses.
It is this inconsistency from Spurs that is killing him.
They are undefeated in the Europa League (3 games in) and still alive in the FA Cup.
He is treading on thin ice though.

So instead of being also-rans, they're just.... also-rans.... lol

No shade dude, I want to see Ange do well and I have nothing against Spurs. Hopefully the campaign is doing the inverse of last season and they build and hit their straps towards the back end of the season.... And finish 2nd in the league behind Liverpool....

You must be getting frustrated again with your mob.

Haha!
I'm no Spurs fan but I am an Ange fan, which is why I want to see him do well.
Spurs coming 2nd and Newcastle 1st would be even better. :)

I'm not sure tbh.
Yes, Newcastle have been as inconsistent as Spurs.
Very disappointing in the past month.
But I'm and Eels fan, Wanderers fan and Newcastle fan.
I'm used to continual failure from the teams I follow.
The only joy I've had since '86 is the Wanderers 1st year Premiership win and the amazing Wanderers Asian Champions League win which was extraordinary.
Honestly one of the greatest ever nights I've spent at the old Parra Stadium.

Nobody cares about Europa league do they? Unless your an Everton level club. Spurs would be thinking Champions league

The fans are not blaming Ange, they still seem to be right behind him and support his style of football because they find it very entertaining to watch. You have to remember we had Conte and Mourinho recently who play the low bloc negative football.

The fans are blaming the team for the most part, for their apathy and the inexperience of youth and they seem to be willing to be patient as "the project" will take another season or so to be consistent.

Ange seems pretty safe while the fans are willing to be patient and while the fans are reasonably happy Levy won't need to do anything, other than a few transfers each window to keep Ange happy. With the exception of Solanke we are mostly buying teenagers, hence "the project". We are also giving some academy players a run atm, particularly Mikey Moore, who only just turned 17.

The only one really pissed off at Spurs atm, is Ange and just few days ago he gave reference to Conte's final words that there are too many experienced lazy and apathetic payers at Spurs who do not lead from the front. Some of them have since left, but Ange definitely agrees with him and is really frustrated by the inconsistency of the team atm.

They are a fairly big club but not on par with the giants. They probably don't have the depth to win consistently in the league while also playing European games midweek.
